Come over here...
Come over here...
Female: Stay away...
Stay away...
Aren't you, aren't you,
the moon's own granddaughter?
As you walk by, as you walk by,
even your shadow turns white!
The plant that blossoms in our breath,
oh, takes root in the Book of Love!
Don't tease me, don't tease me, my darling!
Female: Don't tease me, don't tease me, my darling.
Ha ha ha
Oh oh, come over here...
Come over here...
Female: Stay away...
Stay away...
Aren't you, aren't you,
the moon's own granddaughter?
Female: Ha ha
Male: As you walk by, as you walk by,
even your shadow is white!
Ha ha, the plant that blossoms in our breath,
oh, takes root in the Book of Love!
Don't tease me, don't tease me, my darling!
Male: Hey, don't tease me, don't tease me...
Into my hair, your love
I will braid and admire, my love!
Through all my days, with your breath,
I will live, my love!
In this playful dance of love,
this dance,
my dearest dancer,
my beloved,
Two bodies and one single soul—
only now do I truly see it!
Just touching that single dark curl on your forehead,
my soul blossoms into life!
Female: You kept thinking of me, and I grew tired of sneezing!
Male: Don't tease me, don't tease me, my darling!
Female: Don't tease me, don't tease me, my darling...
Come over here...
Come over here...
Female: Stay away...
Tharara naane tharara naanaane
Tharara naane naane naane
Making the mobile phone itself blush,
you gave me such a loud kiss!
Making the mirror itself clap its hands,
we came together, my love!
Hands trembling with shyness,
trembling,
feet speaking silent words,
speaking,
I touched you, sweet candy sculpture,
and guitar music starts to play!
Rain when you touch, blazing sun when you leave—
it hits me all of a sudden!
When I wear your clothes,
my weight seems to grow!
Don't tease me, don't tease me, my darling!
Female: Hey hey, don't tease me, don't tease me, my darling...
Come over here...
Come over here...
Female: Stay away...
Stay away...
Aren't you, aren't you,
the moon's own granddaughter?
Female: Ha ha
Male: As you walk by, as you walk by,
even your shadow is white...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Don't tease me, don't tease me, my darling!
Oh oh oh oh
